Made this one for this weeks Friday Sketchers Challenge. I have used Kim's Charley stamp, which I love, papers from Shabby Princess, another free download, some flowers from stash and the sentiment is a rubber stamp I've had for ages and forgot about.

I have made this card for the Cute Card Thursday challenge, this week the challenge was to make a card using patterned paper. I have used paper from a free download over at Shabby Princess and the image is a Penny Black stamp which I have watercoloured and added Glamour Dust to the heart. I have tied some organza ribbon down the left hand side but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.

Made this card yesterday whilst trying out my new Cuttlebug, very basic I know but I'm still practicing lol. Have used a Pink Petticoat image which I coloured in Psp ages ago, but hadn't got round to using, and have used glamour dust for the bubbles.

This is my card for the Tilda & Co Challenge. This weeks challenge was to make a card using something torn somewhere, which if you look closely is along the bottom of my card. This is also the first card I have made using my new Cuttlebug which arrived today and I must say I'm very impressed with my new toy. Paper is from Pink Petticoat and the flowers are Prima flowers.

I was asked to make a card for someone who likes blue but hates pink so this is what I decided on. Cuddly Buddly Emmy stamp which I have paper pieced to match the backing paper also from Cuddly Buddly , oval punched greeting and an added papermania flower. I love these papers they are so easy to mix and match.

Thought now that I've started my blog that it was about time I entered a few more challenge to give me a bit of encourage to make more cards. Was sent the link to Friday Sketchers by a friend and it looked like a fairly straight forward sketch so thought I'd give it a go. Have used a Magnolia Tilda stamp which I have watercoloured and Shabby Princess papers.
